In this article, we will discuss how to handle exceptions in Python using try. except, and finally statement with the help of proper examples. Show
Error in Python can be of two types i.e. Syntax errors and Exceptions. Errors are the problems in a program due to which the program will stop the execution. On the other hand, exceptions are raised when some internal events occur which changes the normal flow of the program. Difference between Syntax Error and ExceptionsSyntax Error: As the name suggests this error is caused by the wrong syntax in the code. It leads to the termination of the program. Example: Python3
try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)0 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)1 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)2 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)3 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)4 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)5 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)6 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)7 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)8 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)9 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled0 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled1 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)8 Output: Exceptions: Exceptions are raised when the program is syntactically correct, but the code resulted in an error. This error does not stop the execution of the program, however, it changes the normal flow of the program. Example: Python3
ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled4 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)0 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)1 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)2 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled8 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled9 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)0 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled4 NameError Occurred and Handled2 NameError Occurred and Handled3 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)9 NameError Occurred and Handled5 Output: In the above example raised the ZeroDivisionError as we are trying to divide a number by 0. Note: Exception is the base class for all the exceptions in Python. You can check the exception hierarchy . Try and Except Statement – Catching ExceptionsTry and except statements are used to catch and handle exceptions in Python. Statements that can raise exceptions are kept inside the try clause and the statements that handle the exception are written inside except clause. Example: Let us try to access the array element whose index is out of bound and handle the corresponding exception. Python3NameError Occurred and Handled6 NameError Occurred and Handled7 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)2 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled9 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)0 -5.0 a/b result in 01 -5.0 a/b result in 02 -5.0 a/b result in 03 -5.0 a/b result in 04 -5.0 a/b result in 03 -5.0 a/b result in 06 -5.0 a/b result in 07 -5.0 a/b result in 08 -5.0 a/b result in 09 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)0 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)9 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled0 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)3 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)4 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)5 -5.0 a/b result in 02 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)7 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)2 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)0 Can't divide by zero This is always executed0 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)0 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)9 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled0 Can't divide by zero This is always executed4 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)4 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)5 -5.0 a/b result in 06 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)7 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/d6ec14ca595b97bff8d8034bbf212a9f.py", line 5, in <module> raise NameError("Hi there") # Raise Error NameError: Hi there0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/d6ec14ca595b97bff8d8034bbf212a9f.py", line 5, in <module> raise NameError("Hi there") # Raise Error NameError: Hi there1 try: # Some Code.... except: # optional block # Handling of exception (if required) else: # execute if no exception finally: # Some code .....(always executed)0 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)9 ZeroDivisionError Occurred and Handled0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/d6ec14ca595b97bff8d8034bbf212a9f.py", line 5, in <module> raise NameError("Hi there") # Raise Error NameError: Hi there5 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)8 Output Second element = 2 An error occurred In the above example, the statements that can cause the error are placed inside the try statement (second print statement in our case). The second print statement tries to access the fourth element of the list which is not there and this throws an exception. This exception is then caught by the except statement. Catching Specific ExceptionA try statement can have more than one except clause, to specify handlers for different exceptions. Please note that at most one handler will be executed. For example, we can add IndexError in the above code. The general syntax for adding specific exceptions are – try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s) Example: Catching specific exception in Python Python3Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/d6ec14ca595b97bff8d8034bbf212a9f.py", line 5, in <module> raise NameError("Hi there") # Raise Error NameError: Hi there7 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/d6ec14ca595b97bff8d8034bbf212a9f.py", line 5, in <module> raise NameError("Hi there") # Raise Error NameError: Hi there8 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/d6ec14ca595b97bff8d8034bbf212a9f.py", line 5, in <module> raise NameError("Hi there") # Raise Error NameError: Hi there9 try: # statement(s) except IndexError: # statement(s) except ValueError: # statement(s)2

Try with Else ClauseIn python, you can also use the else clause on the try-except block which must be present after all the except clauses. The code enters the else block only if the try clause does not raise an exception.

Apa itu Exception Handling python?Python Exception handling adalah suatu mekanisme penanganan flow normal program karena terjadi exception dengan melanjutkan flow ke code block lainnya. Kenapa harus menangani exception? Karena terjadi exception dan kita tidak tangani, maka program akan berhenti.
Kapan kita menggunakan exception handling?Exception Handling merupakan mekanisme yang paling diperlukan dalam menangani error yang terjadi pada saat runtime (program berjalan) atau yang lebih dikenal dengan sebutan runtime error. Secara umum, adanya kesalahan / error yang terjadi pada program pada saat runtime dapat menyebabkan program berhenti atau hang.
Bagaimana cara membuat penanganan kesalahan error handling yang baik pada program?Cara Membuat Error Handling yang Baik. Gunakan bahasa yang mudah dipahami oleh user.. Hindari kata-kata seperti : bad,dummy, dll.. Hindari kalimat perintah.. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).. Optimalisasikan dan pemanfaatan undo redo function dan cancel.. Menyiapkan berbagai macam model respon.. Validitas masukan. /. Apa penyebab terjadinya suatu pengecualian exceptions di suatu program?Exception dipicu oleh runtime error, yaitu error atau kesalahan yang terjadi saat program dieksekusi oleh interpreter.
